I received a mail to which a public key has been attached. Enigmail offered me to download the public key from a key server. It should have looked at the attachment of the mail and detected that there is a public key attached to it. Then, it should offer me to import that key directly instead of downloading it from a public key server.

Also, when I double-clicked on the attachment 0x12345678.asc, Enigmail didn’t offer me to import the key. Instead, I have to right-click on the attachment and select “Import Key” from the menu. This is too complicated for an average user.

    Fixed on master; the "Import Key" button is now active if the message was signed with an unkown key and there is a key attached to the message.
